More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This book follows the life story of Amenhotep III, one of the most important rulers of ancient Egypt, from his birth and into the afterlife. Amenhotep III ruled for thirty-eight years, from ca.1391–1353 BC, during the apex of Egypt's international and artistic power. Arielle P. Kozloff situates Amenhotep in his time, chronicling not only his life but also the key political and military events that occurred during his lifetime and reign, as well as the evolution of religious rituals and the cult of the pharaoh. She further examines the art and culture of the court, including its palaces, villas, furnishings and fashions. Through the exploration of abundant evidence from the period, in the form of both textual and material culture, Kozloff richly re-creates all aspects of Egyptian civilization at the height of the Mediterranean Bronze Age.

Good, but could be better
28 April 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
As a New Kingdom Egypt scholar, especially of the Amarna Period, I am always happy to find books based on recent research. This one is very good at looking at possible influences on Amenhotep III from his early life. But don't take eveyting the author writes as accurate: one glaring error concerns the mummy referred to as the "Younger Lady" from the cache in KV35. Recent DNA tests ID her as the daughter of Amenhotep III and Queen Tiye, thus the full sister of Akhenaten. The DNA tests also indicate she is the mother of Tutankhamen, and herein lies my main complaint with the author's work. She takes as fact Joan Flectcher's identification of this mummy as Nefertiti - but Nefertiti's titles NEVER include King's Daughter, thus indicating that she could NOT have been a sister to her husband, Akhenaten.
So I'd recommend this book for the work on its title subject, but keep your conclusions in reserve on the rest.

Buyer Beware
13 Mar 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
While this book has many well-researched points to it, the authoress makes inferences that are not supported by archaeological facts. In one case, she makes the assumption (inference) that there are more bodies to be identified in the tomb KV63, which is, in fact, a basic stash place for items of one and/or multiple burials collected and buried in this place.
For the armchair archaeologist, beware of the "facts" that are presented in this book.
